⚠️ An important reminder for everyone using Hungerford Common

Earlier this week, cattle on the Common were chased by a medium-sized black dog. We have reason to believe this may not have been the first time.

The incident left the cattle terrified. They ran at speed along the main road, making an extremely distressed noise and creating a serious risk to themselves, motorists and everyone else using the Common.

We completely understand that dogs can sometimes react unpredictably around livestock. However, if your dog is likely to chase the cattle, please keep them on a short, secure lead at all times. Alternatively, we kindly ask that you choose another place to exercise your dog until the cattle leave the Common towards the autumn.

This isn’t about telling anyone off—it’s about protecting the welfare of the cattle and keeping every Common user safe. A similar incident simply cannot be allowed to happen again.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. ... See MoreSee Less

The owner had kindly let us know that it was a huge accident. Their dog managed to slip their lead and it won’t be happening again. A new lead and collar on order! Thanks all for always doing their best to keep the cattle safe.

There is now a law around keeping dogs on leads and under control around livestock and grazing animals, with option of prosecution as well as on the spot fines of up to £1000. Perhaps that option needs to be explored. There's no excuse not to have your dog in a lead around other animals. I'm glad none of the cows were injured, hopefully it won't happen again.

At this stage in the season the cattle are generally much more accepting of people & dogs and they’re pretty chilled. It doesn’t mean you can take your eye off the ball. please keep the cows safe.

Poor cows.

The owner is always so reasonable and polite. People with dogs seem to think they own the place and let’s face it SOME are IRRESPONSIBLE. I know this comment will upset the responsible owners but I get so annoyed when I read of these incidents.

A very special moment for us this evening.

2021 is when the first conversations were had. 5 years of hard work by so many wonderful people.

This evening, our Constable, Phillip Porter, had the honor of breaking the ground.

Ensure you follow the Kennet Valley Wetland Reserve Facebook page to keep up to date with all the goings on.
